Danone reported a total 2018 net profit of €2.35bn (US$2.66bn), compared with €2.45bn in 2017. But its fourth-quarter performance was better than expected after a tough global year.
Group Danone posted a 7.2 per cent increase in sales during the
full 2007 fiscal year amounting to €14.5bn, on the back of a strong
performance in its dairy and bottled water businesses.
Frutarom today announced it had agreed to
acquire German-based Gewurzmuller Group for $67m (€47m), a
move to further expand the company's presence in the
global market for flavours and functional ingredients.
